12.8 is respectable, and i woudl say very believable.. more so with a 6 spd tranny than the 4 spd one...

the biggest culprit is driving hablits...
if you have a lead foot, your MPG is going to suck. if your a conservative drive, it will obviously be better than most.

but there is only a certian amount that the H2 is going to get mpg..

even if you are going down hill coasting all the time... well at some point you have to go uphill too...

i think there was a article here or maybe i read it somewhere else about extreme driving habits.. like in popping it in nuetral when going down hills and such, and drafting other vehicles....

i could see if you drove a H2 that would be understandable...crazy... but understandable... but it is a major change in driving habits from what i rememeber reading..

i swear, when this motor finally craps out and i do a engine swap... or if i can find a 6sp cheap, im switching over...

bone stock, the 6spd is rated for 600 HP, but i think i would still upgrade it some more..

the t-case... i have no idea... not sure what its rated for....
